    The Emancipation proclamation freed the slaves only in the states that left the union. It did not free slaves in the states that stayed with the union.
    I am afraid I don't know what freed slaves in Britain...I thought that they had long before us freed them but I don't know how it was done.

    • Actually, concidering the fact that the south had to abide by after the war, it did free the slaves, eventually, in the south as well. So, you are incorrect.

    • No, I think you misunderstood me...The emancipation proclamation did not free all salves...only those in the state that seceeded from the union.

    • CoachMJ is correct, they still had slavery in northern states during the civil war. New York and Ohio had many slaves, and they recently uncovered a slave graveyard in New York while starting construction on a building. Also, many free blacks were kidnapped in Northern states and made slaves and bought to the south, the local law enforcement turned a blind eye to the practice
